Prop question?

[jamesg25]

hello all i am making a SPAD (www.spad.org) with no undercarrige, maybe. so how is it that you rig the prop so that when the engine stops the prop is paralel to the ground?
thanks

let me try to tackle this issue... correct me if im wrong...

1) as per normal, tighten the prop to the engine...
2) turn the prop and observe at which angle the prop tends to gets "compression" and where the prop is "free moving"
3) if your prop gets free horizontally --, iz fine without further adjustments
4) if your prop gets free vertically | or any other angle, you have to loosen the prop nut untill u can shift the prop then tighten back..
5) after tighten, go back to step 2.

i hope this helps...
